Responding to the children’s visions

The sale of a converted cinema within a rusticated Bath stone parish hall adjacent to Theatre Royal Bath offered an opportunity to develop the theatre’s education programme.
The brief for the children’s theatre was created through visualisation workshops.
Children wanted a conventional theatre of their own with individual seats and the education leader wanted space to transform from theatre to workshop.

All the reconfigurations have been successfully utilised by visiting companies and resident companies alike – some designing their shows specifically for the egg. The sightlines, crucial when one is dealing with small people, too work very well.

The Egg Birth

Inspiring space for children and adults to perform and watch within. The flexibility of the floor landscape, the informal seating and the opportunity to have daylight allows every imagination to grow.

Activities, shows & life of the project

Well loved and owned by the children, especially those who contributed to its design.

Together with the welcoming cafe below, and rehearsal room above, the Egg has an enviable reputation for children’s theatre. Developing sensory theatre using smells, such as fresh grass lawn in production.
